Class History On a crisp September morning in 1954, 135 shy and slightly frightened freshmen entered the halls of Burrillville High School. After the first week of confusion, we became better acquainted with our new teachers and classmates. At our first meeting we were introduced to our class advisor, Miss Emidy, and we elected our class officers. We chose Raymond Pepler as our President, David McGuinness, Vice-President, Diane Wheat, Secretary, and Margery Boylan, Treasurer. The Seniors gave us the Freshmen Get-Acquainted Dance and Alice Reinwald and Jack Rivers were Queen and King respectively. Our first year at B. H. S. passed very quickly and before we realized how fast the time had flown, we returned as Sophomores in the fall of ,5 5. Once again we voted for class officers and elected Donald Ducharme, President, Russell Cook, Vice-President, Diane Wheat, Secretary, and Donald Potter, Treasurer. Thomas Eccleston became a member of the National Athletic Society. To begin our first year as upperclassmen, we elected the officers who would lead us throughout our Junior year. We chose Russell Cook as our President, Thomas Eccleston, Vice-President, Diane Wheat, Secretary, and Donald Potter, Treasurer. To start our Junior year rolling, we held a variety show during the Assembly Period with Gordon Carpenter as Master of Ceremonies. Carol Courtemanche, Lydia Joan Desjarlais, and Laura Jean Desjarlais represented Burrillville at Girl's State. Donald Potter attended the Model Congress and Thomas Eccleston was a member of the National Athletic Society. In June, we held a Farewell Dance for the Seniors with Diane Wheat as Chairman, and David McGuinness was selected by the class of 1957 to be their Class Marshal. We are Seniors at last! To guide us in our most important year, we chose Russell Cook, President, David McGuinness, Vice-President, Diane Wheat, Secretary, and Donald Potter, Treasurer. With the resignation of Miss Emidy, Mrs. Carlson consented to be our advisor. Our first activity of the year was the Freshmen Get-Acquainted Dance with Joyce Goulart as Chairman. Next on our social agenda was Winter Fascinationf' our fall prom, with Diane Wheat, Queen. In April we presented our Senior Play, Who Du.nit? directed by Miss Morin. Next came Twilight Time, our spring prom with Claire Perreault as Chair- man. Other activities have included: Class Banquet, Farewell Dance given to us by the Juniors, and Class Night with all the Seniors participating. Page Thirty-two
